Yeah, the gouge tip concept wld surely reduce flex/chatter overall.

I had some fun fitting a Woodcut 13mm tip with threaded stub to a bit of mild steel rod.

Dunno which flute shape I got but the cutting edge form was schmick; one of the nicest I've seen.

Couldn't reproduce it unfortunately on the jig of the day but next best still worked well.
